My life as an emcee in NYP is an interesting one indeed. We, the members of the club, meet up regularly to plan for upcoming events, have lunch together as a team, and decide how to work together to improve our club. We also dine with our friends from other clubs, which results in us forming close, unshakable bonds. It is this habit that has helped the club grow and I�m proud to be a member of the Emcee Club. The Emcee Club started in 2009 with just 30 members and since then, our membership has grown to 58 members, especially when interest in public speaking increased. The Club hosts events such as the yearly NYP Open House and Club Crawl, and helps other clubs with their hosting needs. It has hosted various NYP concerts and events.  The Club�s first major gig was hosting the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in NYP. We also had the opportunity to work with two world class establishments - Gardens by the Bay, and Esplanade - in the past two years. The Club also has experience in stage manag...

What is Love Navigator?   Love Navigator is the result of a collaboration between Mentoring Club, NYP Community Service Club and the Woodlands Pacific Healthcare Activity Centre, with students from Yishun Secondary School (YSS) also participating in this event. It aims to get students to befriend the elderly from the Woodlands Pacific Healthcare Activity Centre. What is NYP Mentoring Club? The NYP Mentoring Club is a CCA that allows NYP stud...

What�s a girl to do when she wants to start a food empire? For Christabel Tan, the answer was simple - enrol in NYP�s Diploma in Food Science & Nutrition , and also learn as much about entrepreneurship as possible. And what better way to learn about starting your own business than by attending an 8-day Course at the US�s No. 1 college for entrepreneurship ? So Christabel visited Babson College from 6-13 July for a National Youth Leadership Forum on Careers in Business & Innovation. Not only did she get an extraordinary lesson in entrepreneurship and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but she also became the first student from NYP to attend this programme at the prestigious Babson College. But her trip was almost not to be. Humble Background, Worried Parents Christabel comes from an admittedly humble background, and her parents were worried about the $6,000 needed for the trip. This concern was partially set at ease when Christabel told them that NYP would defray some of the cost....
